2 Overnight visits ('000) Darwin and Surrounds Overnight Visitation Rolling Annual Total Interstate International Intra-Territory Trends Whilst the overall trend has been one of decline since 2009, this has been mainly driven by a weaker interstate visitor market, as international and intra-territory visitation remained stable. This trend has begun to turn upwards in the past 12 months. Interstate visitation had been declining in the region since 2011 but the trend reversed in the first half of Intra-territory visitation for the region has been relatively stable since International visitation to the region had been declining steadily for the past 4 years though the trend has begun a slight upward turn. New accommodation inventory is expected to help ease demand on accommodation from workers in the mining industry and the tourism industry. 79% 19% 8% 7% 6% 1% 15% 2% 81% 2% 0% 2% 55% 20% 8% 16% 4% 15% [NB: Figures may not add up to 100% as some respondents were not asked this question and some may have used multiple forms of transport]. The method of transport varies for the interstate, intra-territory and international markets. International travellers use a wider array of transport options whilst the clear majority of the interstate fly in to Darwin (79%). Just over four-fifths of intra-territory travellers drive (only). Fly/drive visitors fly into a destination and then hire a car. International and interstate visitors are more likely than intra-territory visitors to do this option. International travellers are more likely to take a bus or tour coach, making this market an important market for the travel tour operators. The drive market of the interstate visitors is very small compared to other regions and represents a potential market opportunity as Darwin currently attracts an estimated 25% of the NT drive market.

Melbourne,Perth and Brisbane were also used as an entry and exit option for some international travellers. A small number (3%) exited via Cairns.
